During this six day tour of the Au Falls and National Park you will explore the following highlights: Moon Rock– A prominent landmark of the Falls – From the summit you get one of the best views of the Park. Swart Rante- (Black Hills) The Black Hills form a natural border between the harsh environment of the gorge area and a more fertile area on the other side.
